We have released the first version of the new PD-2 software for existing PD-1 users.

The main advantage of the new software is that you can record on up to
128 tracks on one protools or 2x64 tracks two protools. There are now 16
stems each of which can be up to 16 tracks wide. To access the extra
stems/tracks the [Assign] key becomes a [Bank] key. To allow for object
stems of greater than 16 tracks I am in the process of adding a link
command that will allow multiple stems to be linked. Print Master Stems
and Linked stems may be placed on the second bank as they do not need to
be accessed as often.

The new Mac/Windows app. allows you to define the stem layout. The first
version on this software is suitable for users with a single PD-1 and I
am working on an new version that will allow users with two PD-1's to
define different stem layouts on each PD-1. Here is a screenshot

After showing this to a PD-1 user they suggested an alternative layout which I worked on below
